Librarian out of bounds
UCC
Comments
A librarian embedded in a field course that goes to another city, country, or a field station in the bush? It happens. Experiential education in the form of a field study course is common in upper-level undergraduate programs such as Geography, Biology, Urban Studies, and Geology. It is becoming common place in other disciplines too. This Ignite talk will transport you to the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens, New York, and will answer two questions: Why should you as a librarian go on a field course? How can you do this?
